Hanalei Valley is home to several world-famous landmarks. Some of the major landmarks include the Kee Beach, the Lumahai Beach and the Makana Peak. Makana Peak is popularly known as “Bali Hai” and it was made popular by James Michener’s movie South Pacific. The magnificent Makana Peak is situated on Kauai’s northwest coast and can be viewed from Ha'ena. The mythical Bali Hai is considered to be the “gift from the gods”. According to a popular legend, the ancient Hawaiians used to climb Mount Makana during special occasions and throw burning spears into the wind. These spears would sail across the sky to eventually land in the ocean. The beach overlooking the stunning Makana Peak is the best place for photography in Hawaii. The entire area around Ke`e is the subject of great lore and legend. The triangular, iconic Makana Peak is worth watching during your stay in Kauai.
